Former Bath City forward Kaid Mohamed joins Bristol Rovers on loan

Former Bath City forward Kaid Mohamed has joined Bristol Rovers on loan until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old fired City to promotion in 2009-10 and starred in their first season at Conference Premier level before leaving for AFC Wimbledon.

He moved on to Cheltenham and then Port Vale before returning to the Dons on loan this term.

“I’ve been talking to Port Vale about the Kaid for a couple of weeks now and we’ve been right on top of that situation,” said Rovers manager Ward.

“They needed Kaid for their FA Cup replay last week so it was just a case of all parties exercising a bit of patience and I’m delighted to have got the deal done.

“It was important to bide my time until I could get a player with the right sort of experience that we needed because there isn’t a lot of scope for me to bring three or four new faces in at the moment.

“We have a lot of young boys here and I think a player with over 200 or so games and some goals to his name is a good addition for us. He’s a forward player with a lot of pace and can play either side with and has a real pedigree at this level.

“The pace he will bring to us at the top end of the pitch is something we have needed. We get him at a good time with two home games to come in the next few days.”
